“It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Simplified Meaning:
When we let go of our old thoughts, habits, and ways of seeing things, we can experience life in a fresh and exciting way. Imagine you’ve lived in a small town all your life and always eaten the same types of food. One day, you decide to travel to a new country and try their local dishes. At first, it might feel strange, but soon you find joy in tasting new flavors and meeting new people. This can also apply to our daily lives. If we stop holding onto past grudges, assumptions, and routines, we open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences. This fresh perspective brings happiness because we see and appreciate the world differently. For instance, approaching a problem at work with a new attitude, instead of the same old frustration, can lead to creative solutions and satisfaction. The idea is to clear our minds of outdated patterns to truly enjoy the present.
